Happy weekend! While I'm sharing the top-rated products I published reviews for over the past week, I'd love to hear about your own "week-in-review." I love reading--and I know others enjoy sharing!--their own "week in review" when it comes to what makeup/beauty products they may have used and/or...

Bronzers | 2022 Editor's Favorites

In 2022, I reviewed just over 75 different bronzers from a myriad of brands and price points. Haus Labs Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer was one of my favorite new formulas--it had such a beautiful, seamless finish on skin. While it doesn't look like it rated well at a surface-level, L'Oreal Infallibe 24H...

Highlighters (Over $15) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

Highlighters (Over $15) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

In 2022, I reviewed just over 70 different high-end highlighters, so there was a nice variety of products to become enamored with over the year, and while highlighting as a trend may have slowed down, it hasn't gone away. Rare Beauty Positive Light Highlighters just came out in December, but they...

Highlighters (Under $15) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

With 55+ highlighters reviewed that were under $15, I was surprised ColourPop only made up 22 of them, LOL! I adore ColourPop's highlighters (often in the form of Super Shock Cheek or Lite Stix), but Elf Halo Glow is an excellent liquid highlighter that I really love for mixing in with foundation.

Blushes (Over $15) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

There were just over 150 blushes that I reviewed in 2022 that were over $15, so it was on the more challenging side to narrow down my list to a manageable amount of favorites. Lethal's new shimmery blushes really won me over this past year, though.

Blushes (Under $15) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

There were just over 65 blushes that I reviewed in 2022 that were under $15, though most of them were from ColourPop (surprising no one!). There was also Give Me Glow's Blush range, which I haven't finished reviewing (many more reviews slated for 2023), which had some unusual hues!

Are you doing anything special for your makeup on NYE?

Are you doing anything special for your makeup on NYE?

Since we will have family over, I will probably have no makeup on, since I’ll test everything earlier in the day. If I was going out, though, I’d definitely do something fun 🙂 Lots of color and sparkles.

Multichrome Eyeshadows | 2022 Editor's Favorites

Multichrome Eyeshadows | 2022 Editor's Favorites

Multichromes really capture the magic of the holiday season to me. They twinkle, they sparkle, they shift, and they are so multidimensional. They work beautifully as an accent of eyeliner or as a one-and-done look, especially lighter and more mid-tone shades, but even black-based Multichromes can...
